Eva Mendes - Ups and downs

Eva Mendes


I had my first girl-on-girl kiss in Urban Legends: 
Final Cut. Now that was fun…


As starts go, appearing in a video for long-haired American rock pensioners Aerosmith isn't a bad one, but it soon got even better for exotic Yank Miss Mendes when she landed a plum role as Denzel Washington's gal in ice-cool 2001 flick Training Day.

When she's not working, she's doing up her LA home, having become addicted over the years to interior design. Or she's out hiking in the Californian hills. Or she's in rehab – the actress recently spent some time in the exclusive Cirque Lodge in Utah for "personal issues", but emerged smiley, happy and ready for some "me time."
